The era of American comics begins

Chapter 54 Terrigen Crystal ([-]rd watch)

Skye sat on the bed with his legs crossed, his arms around his knees, idly counting the number of cracks in the white wall in front of him.

This is the isolation cabin of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Airbus, and she's been in it for two days.

There really isn't much that can be done in the isolation cabin.Coulson had arranged for her a TV with a special circuit to pass the time, but she soon got bored of watching TV.One is because I am not in the mood, and the other is because this TV can only receive a few news channels.

Recently, a terrorist organization called "Ten Ring Gang" seems to be quite aggressive, and every news station is full of news related to this organization.They openly provoked the President of the United States, launched many violent terrorist attacks, and caused quite a wave of public opinion.

The Ten Rings gang was repeated on several channels, and the "Mandarin" who claimed to be the leader of the gang was talking about fortune cookies on the screen, threatening to teach the United States a lesson and so on.Skye became upset after watching it for a while, and simply turned off the TV and ignored it.

After returning from that damned underground city, she seemed to be completely different.Agent Gemma Simon's reaction to her blood test made her feel like she had become some new species.

According to the laboratory, it seems that her body has become completely different from the genetic level, and it can hardly be called human anymore.Agent Simon explained to her that the purified DNA molecules were detected by gel electrophoresis or something, and Skye didn't quite understand what she mentioned about DNA reordering and extra large molecules, but she did. Understand that there is only one thing.

That is, she is no longer herself.

A day later agents are said to have found Reyna - the woman who had been infected like her when the Terrigen Mists spread through the temple.According to the agent's description, Reina seemed to have grown scary black barbs on her head, her eyes had turned amber-like gold, and her entire face was deformed and hideous.In the words of an eyewitness, it was like "a raging beast".

Upon hearing this, Skye couldn't help but wonder, what am I if Reyna becomes "a raging beast"?

The bad experience of the mission left everyone depressed, especially one of their best agents who was petrified and shattered to pieces.They had a quarrel about it, a violent quarrel.As far as Skye could remember, she had never seen everyone lose control of their emotions like this.

She doesn't remember exactly what happened, just that she was nervous, feeling terrible and then the whole plane started shaking, as if someone was pulling the plane violently with a pull line.

She lost control that time and blew up a few light bulbs and a few panes of glass, but fortunately she didn't shatter anything too important.But since then, the way everyone looks at her has changed.In the past, she could see trust in the eyes of these teammates, but now all she sees is worry, fear... It's like looking at a monster hidden under a beautiful skin.

To make matters worse, when she faced the mirror and looked directly at the person behind the mirror, she had a trance feeling that she also saw a monster.

If everyone thinks you're a monster, if even you start to think you're a monster, what proof is there that you're not?

Skye has been homeless since he was a child, and has never been able to settle down anywhere.Aegis was the first place she had found so far that she felt she could call home. A destination.

Sure enough, as long as you are a human being, you will need such a place, right?Even Superman, after saving the world, needs a place where he can let his guard down, let his guard down, be with people close to him, and sleep peacefully.

If even such a home disappears, she doesn't know what to do in the future.

On the bright side, she's in the cage now anyway, how could things get any worse?she thought to herself mockingly.

The door of the isolation compartment was opened from the outside with a "click".Director Coulson walked in.

"You'd better pack up, Skye," he said. "We've got to go and see."

"I guess you can't tell me where we're going, can you?"

Coulson was noncommittal.

"Pack your bags," he said. "We'll be leaving in ten minutes."

Skye suddenly had a strange premonition.

She began to feel again that maybe things could get worse.

When Michael unlocked the door and walked into the laboratory, Shirley had already directed all kinds of sophisticated instruments to scan his spoils - the cluster of blue Kree crystals - thoroughly from inside to outside.

"Is our loot research going well?"

"It's almost done, sir."

"Displays all data, projected on a virtual screen."

"Okay, sir."

The light blue interface opened one after another, surrounding Michael in a ring.He stretched out his hand and dragged the virtual screens constructed by light to him one by one, and began to read and study them carefully.

"The crystal itself is harmless to ordinary people?"

"I conducted a variety of tests and was convinced that the Terrigen crystal itself is harmless. Its composition is an extremely unstable compound, which carries a component that recognizes a specific mutant gene, but at the same time it also stores an extremely large amount of energy. If enough crystals are weaponized, it is theoretically possible to create extremely powerful weapons of mass destruction."

So Whitehall's life-long obsession with the ideal is not entirely fantasy, and the weaponization of the obelisk is theoretically feasible.

Michael asked: "So what's the petrification phenomenon? I remember that there are records showing that non-inhumans who touch the obelisk have petrification phenomena."

"I believe it's due to the protective metal on the outer layer of the Terrigen crystal." Sherry replied, "The metal on the outer layer of the crystal is an aggressive alien material that would be harmful to non-Inhuman gene carriers. produce an instinctive response similar to immune rejection."

Michael has gone through all the analysis results, has a general understanding of most of the properties of the Terrigen crystal, and is convinced that the huge energy contained in it can be extracted and used as a weapon.

More importantly, although the energy provided by the Terrigen crystal is not endless, it can absorb the elements in the air and automatically transform and replenish it. No matter how much energy is consumed, as long as it is given enough time, it can recover itself .

Simply the impeccable perfect source of energy.

Then he called up the project file of the "X-06" vibrating gold armor that he had saved before, and projected the three-dimensional projection of the semi-finished armor on the test bench.He spent about four hours designing and modifying the energy core and power supply circuit of the new armor, and finally successfully established a virtual model of the armor powered by Terrigen crystals.

The energy problem is solved, and the design of the vibration gold armor is basically completed.After making some minor modifications, Michael saved the model, restored the data back to the "X-06" file, and ordered Shirley to prepare materials and enter the actual operation stage.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Michael remembered something, "Help me find out if there are any members with a little more social influence in Tianjian's Eastern European branch?"

After a short search, Shirley quickly found the result.Photos and detailed information of seven or eight high-ranking Eastern European politicians and financial giants all jumped out on the three-dimensional screen of the test bench. Each of them is the eyes and ears of Tianjian.

Michael roughly scanned the information of several people, and finally stopped at the owner of a certain Eastern European multinational group.

"Lauren Beard, that's it." Michael pointed to the gray-haired old man in the projected photo, "Call the branch over there and tell him that I have a task to give to him."
